Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Unfinished Business of the Past"
“Sometimes I feel like I’m falling apart and can’t
find the glue.” The very nature of a marriage puts pressure
on the individuals involved to function at full human capacity. Thus,
unfinished business from the past tends to come out in marriage.
The trauma of divorce further intensifies these issues. Get in touch
with these issues so that you can address them, and successfully move
on with your life.

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Understanding Yourself"
The crisis of divorce leaves us with questions about ourselves and
others. The recovery process should lead us to greater
insight. In this seminar, we will examine four major personality
types. This should provide some understanding about why some
personalities clash, while others get along easily. Opposites
often attract, but usually find necessary adjustments difficult to make
in a marriage. Learn how to put your past relationship into
perspective and equip yourself for better relationships in the future.

commitment. Explore the mystery of love with a view toward
understanding past experiences and gaining help for the future.

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Family Systems"
One of the essential steps in recovery from the effects of divorce is
understanding what happened. We all grew up in a family of origin
where we experienced certain types of family togetherness and differing
roles and rules. Our tendency is to recreate these in our
marriages. Since most couples didn’t have identical family
systems, this becomes a subtle, unconscious battleground. |

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Learning to Let Go"
When divorce is inevitable or a reality, you can have difficulty really
accepting it and moving on with your life. You continue to cling
to memories of the past with “what if....” You
catastrophize how bad the future may be for you now that you’re
divorced. All this paralyzes you in the present. Gain
insights into the important task of letting go.

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Differences between Men and Wormen"
In our culture we stereotype males and females, and then ignore
fundamental differences. Anthropologist Deborah Tannen refers to
conversation between the sexes as “cross cultural
communication.” Women define intimacy as sharing deep
personal feelings with one you trust; while men perceive it as spending
quality time with someone special. These two sides of the
intimacy coin can cause confusion in a relationship. Understand
the opposite sex by uncovering some of these differences. |

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Clash of Values"
A major cause of divorce is differing values. There are four
value systems--ways to orient one’s self relative to
others. Each system has its own way of organizing thoughts and
perspectives. Gain insight into how this contributed to the
conflicts in your marriage. By understanding the past, you can
become better equipped to meet challenges of future
relationships. You can turn the trauma of divorce into an
opportunity for personal growth! |

Divorce Recovery Seminar (7:30pm) - "Breaking Your Addiction to a Relationship"
Our culture doesn’t seem to know the difference between love and
addiction. Love songs speak of needing another and not being able
to live without that person. These are words of dependence and
addiction, not expressions of a healthy love relationship. Such
addiction to a loved one increases the devastation of divorce.
Once we recognize our addiction, we need to learn practically how to
break it off and establish a healthy relationship.
